Photos and posts are about the limit of my technical ability I'm afraid.

Here's one from FFXIV though, that's me on the left :)

Right, that's the good stuff out the way, this is where things get interesting. It's time to see if Ride to Hell really is that gooseberry fool.

I'm going to keep playing it until I can't take it anymore (or until the kids get up). No idea what it'll be like. Let's do this!

Can we expect a review when you're done?

Lol :)

The Giant Bomb guys do a better job of describing it than I ever could. There's a video of them playing it here:

I'd like to never see that again thank you very much.

That's To The Moon finally crossed off my list. What a lovely game, perfect for this time of the day.

I'm going to need something a bit more upbeat now I think. Might move back on to Wonderful 101 to redeem myself slightly :shifty:

The overall total is past the £15,000 mark now, if you'd like to help add to that then please sponsor me at the link below!

Ha, wasn't it yourself that suggested Kengo Zero for me the last time I did this? That just about tipped me over the edge too!

Not long to go now, ending things as I began by touring Eorzea in FFXIV :)

Done and done. Ooft.

Apart from hitting a wall of tiredness at about 5am, that went pretty well.

Thanks to everyone who sponsored me, seems like it's going to be another great total this year.

Feel free to unsticky!

A phenomenal amount raised this year, and there were apparently folk taking part at the last minute, even though they hadn't been able to raise anything.

It was a great little community this year with everyone keeping each other going, I get the feeling it's going to be something that'll get bigger year on year.

GR group for 2014? :shifty:

I know it's a little early but I will be taking part in this event.

I was hoping we could get more people from Grcade involved.

Anyway my page is https://www.justgiving.com/Shawn-Smith/

Any donations would be really appreciated :)

I was just coming on to post about this! :mrgreen:

SKSP is now in its fifth year, folks (FIFTH!), and it sounds like it'll be the biggest one yet. No participation from me due to baby stuff but I'll be watching from the sidelines to see how folk are getting on.

Slayerx, welcome to Club SKSP! Image :shifty: (sorry jawa)

Be sure to follow Sick Kids Save Point on Twitter and Facebook if you aren't already, the community side of this is what makes it special (that and all the raising of money for l'il people, of course) with the weekend that it takes place becoming a challenge to follow all the streams and updates from folk as much as it is to play for the 24 hours.

The Rockstar North crew promoting it in style :D http://sickkidssavepoint.com/

Who else is up for taking part?

I'd be up for doing something as a GRCade-community effort. What date(s) is it happening over?
